I recently upgraded to macos 13 (Ventura) and I wans't too happy with it. MacOS 13 seems to be a little buggy sometimes, hard to explain my situation but one that bothers me alot was that it consumes a lot more power than it used to on Monterey. Stage Manager isn't as useful without an external display. Currently still couldn't get continuity camera to work for me. Check out my settings on macos 13
